The UK's Brexit Referendum.

[BIAD]

Well, that's a good first step, right? 

Let's get this party started and get rid of the swamp creatures across the pond too.  

It is, even though many have warned that the sky will fall in... although with Angela Merckel recently warning
the EU that Britain will become a formidable competitor now, that anti-leave narrative will hopefully fade away.

The real problem now is Parliament, the majority of the members want to remain in the EU and with a thing
called 'The Benn Act' -legislation that stipulates the prime minister must ask the EU for a delay if Parliament
does not agree a deal by Saturday, it could be a swampy situation.

The main sticking-point was the border between southern and northern Ireland, past problems of sectarian
conflict has caused the thin line and country lane to be of great political, security and diplomatic sensitivity
in Northern Ireland.

The EU wanted to have no checkpoints or custom scrutiny there because of this sensitive situation, but
since Northern Ireland would be a gateway into the rest of the UK, somehow the idea of a real border
became a concern for the UK's overall security system.

In the real world, checks are and have been made with goods coming across the border from both countries.
Border-crossing bus passengers are occasionally scanned by Police and warehouses that store imported products
are checked.
Of course, the media won't tell you that because it ruins a good exciting soap-opera!

Anyway, fingers crossed.
